Description Condition Check one Check one excellent deteriorated X unaltered X original site X good ruin? altered moved date fair unexposed Describe the present and original (if known) physical appearance The Stayton Woolen Mill of 1905 and auxiliary buildings added at later dates occupy approximately one-and-one-third acres at the east end of Florence Street, on the north bank of the West Stayton Ditch, a power canal which was developed in the 1890s to divert water from the North Santiam River to serve various mills located along Water Street in Stayton, Oregon. The main mill building and a series of additions and sheds are oriented on a north-south axis fronting Florence Street, a 40-foot right of way. The warehouse and shipping room and adjoining office building are located on the north side of the right of way, facing south. Surrounding land use is mixed industrial and residential. Behind the complex, south of the power canal, the open land is in agricultural use. An unimproved parcel to the west of the main mill building is not included in the area proposed for nomination. The 2h story main mill building of post and beam construction, is rectangular in plan and measures 69 x 120 feet. The foundation and ground story flooring, originally wood, were replaced approximately 20 years ago by a layer of gravel overlaid by concrete. Conventional stud walls are finished with horizontal tongue and groove boards inside and are clad with Douglas fir shiplap siding on the exterior. The double-pitched roof with its two roof-ridge monitors is presently covered with composition material. Eaves are unenclosed. The light roof trusses are a modified sag rod type having suspension rods added at a later date. Posts are spaced on 20-foot centers, and ceiling clearance on first and second stories is 10 feet. Fenestration is generous, consisting of simple wood-framed industrial-size stacked wood sash with six over six lights in either end elevation and six-light oblong sash in side elevations. Recently the exterior was repainted red with white trim to match original treatment. Between 1906 and 1908, a 25 x 125-foot single-story lean-to addition of matching construction was added on the west side to expand the weave room. About 1912, a finish room and spinning annex, also of matching construction and measuring 91 x 100 feet, was added to the east side. The north, or front 35 feet of the annex is two stories in height; the remainder is single story. The fabric finishing department is contained in the ground story. Spinning machines are on the second story. The annex also contains an 80-foot square office and a 100-foot square laboratory space partitioned by 2 x 4 stud walls. The stairway to the upper story is of the typical unfinished Douglas fir milled construction found throughout the interior. About 1916, an 81-foot, single story extension was added to the east end of the annex to house the workshop, boiler room and dye house. The area is covered with longitudinal gable roofs of varying length, depending upon the length of the sections separated by 2 x 4 stud walls. The dye house at the easternmost end has two roof ridge monitors. Detached from these additions, immediately to the east of the dye house, is a 45 x 25 foot, single-story, windowless picker house of clay tile blocks which was added in the 1930s. The picking machines, which reclaimed wool from scrap woolen goods through a shredding process, are no longer used in the mill operation. Detached from the picker house, on the easternmost end of the property, is a single-story, gable-roofed carbonizer building measuring 35 x40 feet. It, too, was constructed in the 1930s of tile block, except for the wood frame roof with its FHR-8-300 (11-78) United States Department off the Interior Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form Continuation sheet Item number 7 Page roof-ridge monitor. Although no longer used, the building contains the remains of a German-manufactured gas carbonizer which was once used to remove extraneous vegetable fibers from wool scrap. The carbonizer, employing either hydrochloric or sulphuric acid, was one of the few of its kind in the United States. It was used under Paris' management to remove latex (rubber) from sweater and wool swimming trunks clips from the Jantzen Knitting Mills in Portland. After carbonizing, the waste wool was reworked into robes and blankets. The warehouse and shipping room on the opposite side of Florence Street is an L-shaped building with two longitudinal gables which measure 105 x 110 feet. Across the front is a covered loading dock. The interior is divided into a single-story raw wool warehouse on the east and, on the west, a two-story section for storage of finished goods on the upper level and a ground story shipping room. Construction details are similar to those of the basic complex. The east side elevation of the single-story warehouse portion is windowless and has a large sliding door on rollers. Attached to the west side of the warehouse is a 35 x 18-foot, single-story, gable-roofed office building of matching construction and double-hung windows with one over one lights in the wood sash. The building was modified in 1980 by removal of a portion which extended into the public right of way and by addition of a 10 x 12-foot west wing which serves as the private office of the mill manager. The remainder of the office building houses the receptionist-bookkeeper and a records storage area. Local wool growers deliver sheared fleece, or raw wool to the warehouse in sacks weighing up to 300 pounds. The sacks are weighed on the warehouse platform scales and the grower is paid in cash at the preva iling wool price. The fleece is sent to Portland on Paris Woolen Mills trucks for washing and scouring, which removes the lanolin, dirt and manure. The process results in an approximate weight shrink of 50 percent. From the warehouse, the scoured wool is moved with hand trucks across the street to the dye room. Here the wool is placed in huge round stainless teel kettles with the dye water and heated by steam for a certain length of time. After dyeing, the wool is dried in a drying machine at the dye room and then moved with a hand truck via an elevator to the card room storage bins on the third level of the main building. Here the wool is oiled with a special oil to facilitate the carding process. Sometimes, blends of different kinds of wool or wool and synthetics are mixed according to ratios desired by the customers. Also, several colors can be blended for heather yarns. Next, the wool is blown through steel piping to the carding machines in the card room on the second level of the main building. The carding process passes the wool through a system of rollers covered with wire teeth, which forms fibers into a thin web. Carding "blends" and straightens the fibers and removes some of the natural vegetable matter. The thin web that results from carding is then divided into narrow strips which are rubbed together to form the "roving." Roving is the process of getting the carded wool onto spools. The spools of roving are then moved with hand carts to the south end of the second floor, which is the spinning room. Here the spools are placed on the spinning frame racks and the strands threaded down through twister tubes and finally through the travelers which sail around and wrap the bobbins at high speed. This process, which twists the yarn to give it strength, is called "spinning." FHR-8-300 (11-78) United States Department of the Interior Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form Continuation sheet_____________________Item number 7___________Page 2_____ The yarn-filled bobbins are then carted to the weaving room on the first floor of the main building. Half the yarn is tranferred to large spools, which are called beams. The beams are placed on the looms and the yarn is drawn through harness frames to form the "warp" (lengthwise yarn).

  • Indian Country Welcome To
    Travel Guide To OREGON Indian Country Welcome to OREGON Indian Country he members of Oregon’s nine federally recognized Ttribes and Travel Oregon invite you to explore our diverse cultures in what is today the state of Oregon. Hundreds of centuries before Lewis & Clark laid eyes on the Pacific Ocean, native peoples lived here – they explored; hunted, gathered and fished; passed along the ancestral ways and observed the ancient rites. The many tribes that once called this land home developed distinct lifestyles and traditions that were passed down generation to generation. Today these traditions are still practiced by our people, and visitors have a special opportunity to experience our unique cultures and distinct histories – a rare glimpse of ancient civilizations that have survived since the beginning of time. You’ll also discover that our rich heritage is being honored alongside new enterprises and technologies that will carry our people forward for centuries to come. The following pages highlight a few of the many attractions available on and around our tribal centers. We encourage you to visit our award-winning native museums and heritage centers and to experience our powwows and cultural events. (You can learn more about scheduled powwows at www.traveloregon.com/powwow.) We hope you’ll also take time to appreciate the natural wonders that make Oregon such an enchanting place to visit – the same mountains, coastline, rivers and valleys that have always provided for our people. Few places in the world offer such a diversity of landscapes, wildlife and culture within such a short drive. Many visitors may choose to visit all nine of Oregon’s federally recognized tribes.

  • INDIAN TRADE BLANKETS in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST History and Symbolism of a Unique North American Tradition by W
    WashingtonHistory.org INDIAN TRADE BLANKETS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST History and Symbolism of a Unique North American Tradition By W. R. Swagerty COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2002: Vol. 16, No. 2 To lovers of the picturesque it is a source of keen regret that the Blanket Indian, the most striking and conspicuous figure this country has ever produced, is passing. And by this I mean the Indian who formerly wore a red blanket, a beaded buckskin shirt and leggins, a gorgeous war bonnet, and who painted his face, his hands and his horse in a manner wonderful to behold. Block Quote —G. O. Shields from Blanket Indians of the Northwest, 1921 A veteran of the Indian wars, Shields, like many of his contemporaries, was convinced that the American Indian was a "vanishing race," a victim of "Progress" and the inevitable sweep of Western civilization over a once-proud people now reservation-bound and without the warrior heroes of yesteryear. Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, American Horse, Geronimo, and Chief JosePh— "The Noblest Roman of Them All"—were all gone, rePlaced by a generation of hunters-turned- farmers, and Poor ones at that. Had Shields looked carefully he would have seen many "blanket Indians" at powwows, giveaways, potlatches, funerals, saints' days, parades, rodeos, and in more traditional households on and off reservations. Writing in 1933, Luther Standing Bear, a notable Sioux, reminisced in his autobiography, Land of the Spotted Eagle: Many an Indian has accomplished his own personal salvation by "going back to the blanket." The Indian blanket or buffalo robe, a true American garment and worn with the significance of language; covered beneath it, is the prototype of the American Indian, one of the bravest attempts ever made by man on this continent to rise to the heights of true humanity.

  • The Indian Photographs of Lee Moorhouse, 1898-1915. Steven L
    Museum Anthropology Review 1(1) Spring 2007 Peoples of the Plateau: The Indian Photographs of Lee Moorhouse, 1898-1915. Steven L. Grafe. Foreword by Paula Richardson Fleming. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2005. 221 pp. (Co-published with National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.) 1 Reviewed by Joanna Cohan Scherer This book is a biographical sketch of a pioneer photographer, Thomas Leander “Lee” Moorhouse. It provides a high-quality printing of 114 of his Native American images reproduced on glossy paper that does justice to the people and places pictured. The text, however, is not an academic study (with source references) of Moorhouse’s work, despite the fact that Steven L. Grafe has published scholarly articles on the photographer in other venues (Grafe 1997/1998, 1998). Moorhouse’s photographic career spanned the years from 1897 to about 1915, during which time his main goal was recording local history around Pendleton, Oregon. He produced images of eastern Oregon ranch life, railroad activity, pioneer town scenes (such as Fourth of July celebrations), commercial enterprises (including the Pendleton Round-Up), and photographs of Native Americans (including members of many Plateau groups: Cayuse, Yakima, Umatilla, Colville, Walla Walla, Palouse, Wisham, Warm Springs, Nez Perce, Flathead, Bannock Indians from the Great Basin, and Crow Indians from the Plains culture area). He created or collected about 9,000 glass plate negatives that are currently housed in the University of Oregon Library, Portland, the National Anthropological Archives in Washington, D.C., and the Umatilla County Historical Society in Pendleton. Moorhouse was a man of many interests and talents—an Oregon businessman in the clothing trade and later in insurance, a rancher, a civic leader who was mayor of Pendleton in 1885, an Indian Agent of the Umatilla Indian Reservation from May 1889 to August 1891 (as a result of a political appointment for services to the Republican party), and an avid collector of Indian artifacts.

  • Pendleton Woolen Mills Installs New Jacquard Looms Centennial Mill Adds State-Of-The-Art Weaving
    Pendleton Woolen Mills Installs New Jacquard Looms Centennial Mill Adds State-of-the-Art Weaving PORTLAND, Ore. – August 5, 2015 – Pendleton Woolen Mills headquartered in Portland, Oregon, a globally celebrated American lifestyle brand, has added new jacquard looms to operations at the company’s original mill in Pendleton, Oregon. These Italian looms from Itema and Swiss jacquard machines from Staubli are equipped with the latest technology and provide high speed performance. These looms will improve quality, enhance design capability, add capacity and increase efficiency to produce the “Warranted To Be” quality of Pendleton products and fabrics that the Brand is famous for,” said Charlie Bishop, Executive Vice-President of Manufacturing. “We are excited to partner with these two world class companies to bring the world’s most advanced weaving technology to Pendleton, Oregon. Jacquard looms weave complex designs, angles and shapes, brocades, damask, matelasse, and three dimensional fabrics. Jacquard blankets were the first items made by Pendleton Woolen Mills when the company opened in Pendleton, Oregon in 1909. The original jacquard looms required tedious manual setup that allowed for one new blanket creation per year. With today’s technology, producing a new jacquard blanket is improved from months to minutes; from the development of the computer aided design to actual weaving. Jacquard looms, developed with binary logic, were the fore runners to the first digital computers. Pendleton originally used jacquard looms to create blankets for American Indians living in Eastern Oregon, weaving symbols and utilizing colors that were important and preferred by the Native American culture in the region. Today, jacquard blankets are iconic staples of the brand and still the most popular product of Pendleton craftsmanship.

An English weaver by trade and an adventurer by nature, he first worked as a boss weaver and later opened his own mill in Salem, Oregon. From the beginning, Kay’s descendants began weaving a thriving enterprise that became Pendleton Woolen Mills. After almost 150 years, our company remains family owned into the sixth generation. The Pendleton collection still includes those products that brought the company initial recognition-distinctive woolen blankets and exceptional woolen fabric. The introduction of new products reflects current consumer needs, tastes and trends. Our full range of better sportswear for men and women, in wool and non-wool fabrics, makes Pendleton a year-round resource, and our extensive line of exceptional home furnishings and accessories further expands our business. All our products carry the “Warranted To Be” Pendleton promise, which recognizes the philosophy of my grandfather, C.M. Bishop, an unwavering commitment to quality, value, experience and trust. That commitment extends to sound and forward-looking business practices, as well as to environmental responsibility. State-of-the-art electronic systems streamline our operations. Careful consideration of the impact on the environment demonstrates Pendleton’s Northwest roots and inborn respect for the environment. With the increased worldwide competition, Pendleton has moved into a global 3 marketplace using select suppliers and distributing product internationally.
